I’m looking for some advice on a skin issue that’s been worrying me.
I have a very small bump on my outer butt cheek that has been there for almost a year. It looks like a tiny raised spot with a scab-like top. The scab seems to keep coming back even when I don’t pick at it. The surrounding area is about pea-sized and darker (I have medium-to-dark brown skin, so it may also be hyperpigmentation).
It only hurts if I press on it or mess with it. There’s no bleeding, drainage, or rapid growth that I’ve noticed.
I’m trying to understand if this sounds more like something benign (like an ingrown hair, cyst, or irritation) or if it’s something that should be checked more urgently. I do plan to get it looked at, but I wanted some input first to ease my mind.
Thank you in advance.
